[comp.sys.amiga] Connecting a PC compatible to a 1080 monitor

prem@geomag.fsu.edu (Prem Subrahmanyam) (11/10/89)

    PLEASE don't flame me on this one!!!!   I am the proud owner of an 
    Amiga 1000.  I bought the 1000 during the days when they promised to
    be coming out with a sidecar to make the Amiga 100% IBM compatible
    (which I needed desperately, as I am a Computer Science student at 
    FSU, which uses PC's in their labs :{ ).  Well, when the sidecar
    didn't come out (except for a very few) in order to promote the A2000,
    I was forced into the option of purchasing a low-cost Franklin PC
    compatible computer.  It has treated me very well, compiling all my
    Turbo Pascal programs faithfully, etc. (boy, I wish Borland did a
    version of T.P. for the Amiga).  

    Now, my Franklin has a color card in it that also produces NTSC output.
    I've been feeding this output into my computer, but the text is all
    monochrome.  I've been bearing with this for several years now, not knowing
    if it were possible to directly connect the RGB output to the 1080 monitor.
    Well, I am sick of looking at light grey text on a dark grey screen.

    SOOOO,  anyone know how to concoct a cable that will connect a PC RGB
    line into a 1080 monitor?  It would be greatly appreciated.
